Privacy Policy

We Recognize Your Privacy

World Racing Group recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of certain information ("Information") collected about our customers and prospective customers (referred to as “Customers”). This privacy statement discloses what information we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it.

To that end, World Racing Group gathers two types of information about Customers: data that Customers provide through optional, voluntary registration on our sites; and data gathered through aggregated tracking, mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to tailor our content to fit Customers' needs better and to help our advertisers understand our audience. However, be assured that World Racing Group will not disclose personal Information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in this Privacy Policy or disclosed to you when the Information is submitted.

How does World Racing Group collect Information?

Optional registration

We collect information by specifically requesting it from you. Generally this occurs when you register at a site or request information or a service.

Usage tracking

Use of Internet Protocol ("IP") Addresses

An IP address is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet so that your computer can be identified by the main computers, known as “Web servers”, that “serve up” Web pages.

World Racing Group collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our site. When Customers request pages from WorldRacingGroup.com, our servers log the Customers' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer's session will be logged, but the Customer will remain anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our site terms of use or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers or others.

Use Of Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a Web site sends to yours computer for record-keeping purposes, which information is stored in a file on your computer. Cookies make Web surfing easier for you by saving your preferences so that we can use the saved information to facilitate your use of our Web site when you return to the site. Cookies do not tell us your individual identity unless you have chosen to provide it to us. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and as such, you'll find that most major Web sites use them.

By showing how and when Customers use a site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our Customers' needs.

Most cookies expire after a defined period of time, or you can delete your cookie file at any time. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of WorldRacingGroup.com will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized preferences, and/or may have difficulty completing marketing transactions.

World Racing Group has two primary uses for its cookies. First, we use them to specify a Customer's preferences. Second, we use cookies to track Customers' Web site usage trends and patterns. This helps us understand our Customers' needs better and improve areas of services that our Customers find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of cookies, you have the option of disabling the cookies via your browser preferences.

With whom does World Racing Group share my Information?

World Racing Group will not disclose any specific personal information that you submit to us about you ("Personal Information") in a manner that connects you with the Personal Information, except when we have your permission.

Business Partners & Sponsors: World Racing Group may disclose some or all of your Personal Information to business partners or sponsors, but this use will be specifically described to you prior to data collection or prior to transferring the data. Many promotions offer opportunities to request additional information from sponsors. By requesting more information, you give World Racing Group permission to transfer your Personal Information to the sponsor so they can fulfill your request. In many instances, only your e-mail address will be shared. If more Personal Information will be shared with the sponsor, you will be notified prior to the transfer.

Third Party & Aggregate Data: From time to time, you may be offered the opportunity to receive materials or special offers from third parties. If you opt to receive information from these third parties, World Racing Group will (with your permission) share your name and e-mail address with such third parties.

Other: World Racing Group may also disclose account Information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this Information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating World Racing Group's Terms of Use.

How can you control the usage of Information?

In case you change your mind or some Personal Information changes (such as your zip code or e-mail address), we will try to provide a way to correct, update or remove the Personal Information that you give us. We also give you the opportunity to control the communications we direct to you.

What happens when you link to a third party site?

You should be aware that when you are on WorldRacingGroup.com you could hyperlink or be directed to other sites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service. These other sites may include sites of advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use World Racing Group's logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to Customers, collect data, or solicit Information.

World Racing Group does not control such sites, and, therefore, is not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such sites. World Racing Group's inclusion of hyperlinks to these sites do not imply any endorsement of the material on such sites or any association with their operators.

Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or chat) that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While World Racing Group strives to protect its Customers' information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and you disclose such information at your own risk.
